Relative includes are relative to the "starting" script's location. So if you have config.php in folder1 and you're accessing folder2, you have to use ../config.php. One way to get around this is to have all includes in a central place and add it to your include_path (This is what I do). I do it through ini_set, but you could do it through a .htaccess file or the php.ini much easier. > Also: users are not being authorised even though there's a variable that > says they are.

I assume you're calling session_start() in *all* of these pages? Sessions *will* work across all folders on your website. Or at least they should. You're not changing domains, right?
